OOTD: Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal

Hey guys!

So today I had the awesome opportunity to see the Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal exhibition at the Bowes Museum in Bernard Castle, County Durham. After months of trying to find the time to go, I put my foot down and went 'up North' for the weekend.

The exhibition was held at the Bowes Museum, which looks like a old-style french Chateaux. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend anyone to go there if they are ever in the area. 

Anyway, I will write a proper review of the exhibition and share some of my photos with you, but until then, here is a cheeky outfit of the day post. 

Jumper: H&M, Fur Gillet: Stradivarius, Jeggings: Newlook, Boots: Newlook, Bag: Urban Outfitters, Sunglasses: Fatface. 

I have been loving Burgundy this Autumn, and every Autumn (this look was obviously accompanied with some burgundy Lips). I wanted a pretty simple look so I teamed it with some ripped jeans. fur Gillet and heeled Boots. In all honestly, I probably should have skipped out on the boots and opted for some slightly more practical shoes, as Bernard Castle is a pretty 'Hilly' Village and we did a LOT of walking, but these boots were still fairly comfortable for the whole day.

Until next time.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Next year, the Victoria & Albert museum will open its doors to an exhibition that will showcase the work of the late Lee Alexander McQueen. The exhibition, entitled Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, will cover the whole of the late designer's career, from his graduate collection in 1992, to his final unfinished collection in 2010. Formerly being shown in New York, which successfully was seen by over 661 509 visitors over the four months that it was open, It is now being brought to London, opening in March 2015.

From my perspective as a Fashion Promotion student, I will be interested to see, not only the clothes, but also the whole atmosphere that is put across through the exhibition. Anyone who has seen any of the original Alexander McQueen fashion shows, will know that he would create an atmosphere for his shows through the lighting, music and layout, so I hope that they reflect this in the exhibition. 

Tickets are on sale now. Visit Vam.ac.uk/savagebeauty for more information.
